What are Hosted Parties? They are “sign-up” events that parents, or a group of parents, agree to host for as many people as they find appropriate for the specific activity/party. Attendees can be adults, kids or a combination of the two. The hosts cover all expenses of the party, and 100% of the funds raised by the event benefit Whittier. Prices range from $25 to $50+ per person depending on the event. Past events include pie and beverage pairings, grade-level happy hours, outdoor movie nights in a backyard, gardening lessons, and more!
Co Host's (and fellow 1st graders) Oliver Ritter and Evan Ryan welcome you to bounce and play at Oliver's house (7713 14th Ave. NW). Kiddos will get to bounce on a giant trampoline, eat dinner/fruit and veggies (Dick's or Pizza) and dessert to be provided. Come hang with moms-Hanni and Kim or feel free to drop off.
